Seiji chuckled as he leaned over to Henry, whispering slyly, "So, you really made Lorian wear that elven girl outfit, huh?"
Henry smirked, whispering back, "Of course. He doesn't complain either," he added with a mischievous glint in his eyes, glancing at Lorian, who pretended not to notice their quiet exchange but was clearly blushing.
Seiji shook his head in amused disbelief. "You two really are something else," he thought to himself. After all, he knew their secret well—Henry, married to Liz, and Lorian, bound to Ellara, yet here they were, tangled up in a private, hidden romance that kept them sneaking around even as they fought side by side.
Henry caught Seiji's glance and raised his mug with a wink, the mischief in his eyes unmistakable. Seiji only laughed, taking another swig and deciding that, whatever happened next, at least he was in good company.
